Inframince et hyperlié

A panel painted in Venice that reappears in Los Angeles and reveals another disappearance; a sculpture that melts for weeks; Louis de Funès’s head that dissipates in the ice; an invisible ring for an absent cow; a transparent top hat; a portrait reproduced 367 times whose original has been lost: disappearance is a strange spectacle that we only perceive when there is nothing left to see. An access to the sensation of an infra-thin and hyper-linked moment, suspended and untraceable, which we call the present and which defines contemporary art. These texts track down the disappearance of artists such as Francis Alÿs, Michael Rampa, Carpaccio, Gerhard Richter, Stéphane Zaech, Charles Gleyre or Valentin Carron.
